Kuomintang Dagger
Hello everyone, here are some photos of a Chinese Republic Kuomintang Army Officers dress dagger, 1927 / 1948 for interest and comment. It is a well made piece but shows signs of wear, particularly of the scabbard plating. The hilt fittings are of brass and tortoise shell.
O/L is 14.5 ins, blade length is 9.75 ins x 1 ins wide.
I think the design is a blend of German Facist and Chinese.
Regards
Miguel
